Chapter 2928: Chapter 2929: What a Man Should Do

Zhong Xin shouted loudly, ”The maid you’re talking about ran off with diarrhea, the daughter-in-law was called away by a man, the two youngest children have been crying all the time, and one wet his pants. I was worried he’d catch cold and wanted to help, but you caught me.”

The people from Su Family Village listened to these words and all looked at a man with some sympathy in their eyes. He was probably the husband of the Niu Family’s daughter-in-law?

After Zhong Xin spoke, many people believed him. This kind of thing probably wasn’t the first time, and the people in Su Family Village knew it in their hearts, but no one wanted to offend anyone by speaking out.

Bai Ruozhu glared at Zhong Xin, this young man is passionate, but why is his emotional intelligence so low? Couldn’t he just say someone called her away? Why emphasize that it was a man? Isn’t today’s chaos enough?

The people from Su Family Village saw Zhong Xin speaking plausibly and quieted down. A man said, ”When I went, Tiger did indeed wet his pants.”

”That doesn’t prove anything!” The Village Chief said firmly, ”He hid in the dark and of course saw Tiger wetting his pants. Doctors don’t take children, and it’s normal if they can’t care for them. Besides, whose child doesn’t wet their pants?”

”Yeah, this kid is really slippery, just adds fuel to the fire in everything he sees.”

”Can’t be fooled by two sentences!”

Zhong Xin’s eyes were red with anxiety. He was young and felt hurt by the misunderstanding.

”Zhong Xin, go to the County Government Office and speak to the Luohe County Magistrate properly, don’t be afraid.” Bai Ruozhu noticed his mood and said softly.

”Boss, I really meant well. I saw those kids were really in pain and could’ve been treated sooner.” Zhong Xin said sadly.

Someone shouted unwillingly, ”Stop pretending! If the kids don’t use your toothpaste, they’ll get better in ten days. Don’t you say it’s not your problem?”

”Ten days? Has any kid gotten better? Exactly how long has it been?” Bai Ruozhu seemed to grasp an important clue and quickly asked.

”Don’t trick us into talking, we’ll only tell the Magistrate!” The Village Chief said.

Bai Ruozhu felt the Village Chief not allowing the villagers to hit Zhong Xin was reasonable, at least not bad-hearted, but why was he particularly resistant to their toothpaste shop, with such a firm attitude?

”Make way!” The Village Chief first walked forward and pushed Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu didn’t move; she’s a martial artist; how can an old man push her?

But who knew the Village Chief’s health was bad, couldn’t push her, and instead almost couldn’t stand steady, and started coughing.

”What are you doing!” Someone with a bad angle thought Bai Ruozhu pushed the Village Chief, got angry, and pulled a piece of weed from the roadside, throwing it with grass and earth at Bai Ruozhu’s face.

”You rich people are not kind. You think you’re great because you’re officials? We from Su Family Village are not easy to bully!”

The guy shouted, and others were led, pulling up grass and throwing it at Bai Ruozhu.

A dark figure rushed over, shielding Bai Ruozhu with his body, dirt-laden grass blocks slammed onto Jiang Yichun’s back.

”Achun...” Bai Ruozhu felt a bit aggrieved.

Jiang Yichun held her, whispering in her ear, ”It doesn’t hurt. Let them throw, it’ll calm them down.”

”But...” It’s too much for you.

The Village Chief finally caught his breath and struggled to shout, ”Stop! Everyone, stop!”

After all, words from the Village Chief worked, and everyone stopped.

”She didn’t push me, it was me not steady. Don’t act rashly.” The Village Chief said anxiously.

The first person who threw the grass turned red in the face, ”Ah? She really didn’t push you?”

”No push!” The Village Chief emphasized, somewhat angry. Can he bear saying he tried pushing but couldn’t, almost fell due to unsteadiness?

”Then... uh...” The first person seemed embarrassed, ”You made my kid sick. It’s nothing throwing at you few times.”

He seemed to find an excuse for himself, but in the end, rural folks are quite honest; he turned red himself.

”Don’t act rashly. You’ll lose even when you have reason.” The Village Chief said.

The Village Chief walked around Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun, leading people forward.

Bai Ruozhu reached out to dust off Jiang Yichun’s back, ”Sorry for this.”

Her man, a celestial-like figure, when is he not aloof yet unwaveringly shielded her from dirt?

Fortunately, they weren’t wasting many things. If they started throwing rotten vegetables or bad eggs, she wouldn’t hold back from hitting them.

Jiang Yichun smiled at her, showing off his white teeth, ”Silly, it doesn’t hurt. Didn’t you notice they’re guilty and dare not shout anymore?”

”This is the decoy strategy.” Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly.

”What’s wrong? Isn’t it a man’s duty to protect his woman?” Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu felt warm inside, covertly pulling his hand, and the two followed the people from Su Family Village towards Luohe City. Others silently followed, Bai Ruozhu fearing further angering Su Family villagers, signaled Wa Xiu not to persuade.

Soon the crowd entered the City, sending Zhong Xin into the Government Office.

”Magistrate, this kid sneaked into our village with ill intentions, please investigate strictly.” The Village Chief bowed and said tremblingly.

Bai Ruozhu really worried for him; can this old man’s body withstand this exhausting trip? At such age, leading more than twenty people is really not easy.

It’s really worrying, the Village Chief was speaking and suddenly fell backward with his eyes rolled.

”Village Chief!” Someone reacted swiftly, holding him, preventing him from falling.

”Quick, find the doctor, Village Chief can’t breathe!” Seeing the Village Chief’s face turn bluish, someone shouted fearfully.

The originally waiting Su Family villagers outside the Public Hall rushed in, suddenly making it crowded inside.

County Magistrate Mei Zhenghua’s temples throbbed, what’s all this? As a humble magistrate, he really can’t manage. When will the Imperial Court send people?

”Quiet down!” Mei Zhenghua struck the courtroom wooden block, ”Some people go out, it’s too crowded, send someone to find a doctor.”

”Not the Medical Alliance, they’ll kill our Village Chief!” Someone shouted.

Bai Ruozhu walked straight over, ”I’m the doctor. If he dies, I’ll take full responsibility. But if you keep delaying, he’ll stop breathing soon.”

She wasn’t entirely exaggerating; if she didn’t save the Village Chief now, he could really stop breathing. Even if by luck saved, he might end up paralyzed.

”You’ll take responsibility? How if he dies? Don’t pretend to be kind!” Someone shouted.
